The cities are spending money they don't have to clean up after them, pay the cops, and expend resources. They are clogging up an already overcrowded court system with their stupidity.<br /><br />What do they want?? Does anyone know? I have not heard any of them state clearly and reasonably what they are protesting. Do they want free money? Great, so do I. Shall I get in line?<br /><br />Do they want a great job without having to earn it, deserve it, or work for it?<br />Ha ha...me too! But just because I am too lazy to go out and snag my dream job doesn't mean that I think I have the right to have it handed to me!<br /><br />Do they want the money to be spread out evenly for everyone, so the rich people just give them some of their money? Is that what they want? How about if we have the the college students earing a 4.0 GPA just 'give' the losers some of their high grades, or take their tests for them...is that what they want?<br /><br />So let me get this straight...they are sitting there with their iphones and laptops rallying against Capitalism...<br />the very thing that CREATES their toys...<br /><br />They are protesting that the economy is bad...<br />while they smash windows, block people from going to their jobs, and disrupt transportation...<br /><br />They are complaining that their life is not good...<br />while in New York they are crying to 'Burn this f'ing city to the ground!'<br /><br />I am not normally one to call people names, but in this case I will make an exception, since we are looking at a bunch of spoiled, ignorant, immature and lazy people whose lack of intelligence is going to adversely affect MY life.<br /><br />If I am wrong about any of this, feel free to set me straight...<br /><br />Peace be with you.Joe Caphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16809044606514490636noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303387679097070903.post-6645113831283315752010-11-19T04:49:00.003-06:002010-11-24T12:07:05.353-06:00Happy Anniversary!!<a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" href="http://joe-capuano.blogspot.com/2009/11/well-since-i-have-just-started-this.html" target="_display">Thursday, November 19, 2009</a> was my first post.<br /><br />Well, how about that? I have reached my one-year anniversary of blogging!<br />And now, my friends, it is time to bid you all adieu...I have reached the<br />end of my journey.<br /><br />I thank you all for reading my drivel, and for allowing me to re-discover<br />the writing I used to do. I will continue to read all of your posts. But for<br />me, I think I have about run out of things to say...<br /><br />I won't say I am gone <span style="font-style: italic;">FOREVER</span>, if I think of something that I think needs<br />to be said, then I will post it...think of this as just a little break.<br /><br />I leave you with a final song...<br />A nostalgic memory of my frequent co-collaborator.<br />Now he lives too far from me, I only see him every<br />year or two. Too bad.<br /><br />So this song is all just me playing.<br /><br />The references to 'Sally' are Ray's guitar<br />(yes, he named it).<br /><br />Sheila is a cat that I had at the time.<br />She died when she was around 17 years old.<br /><br />I include the standard disclaimer:<br /><br />Not professionally recorded, and it might sound better if<br />you listened with headphones.<br /><br />The<span style="font-weight: bold;

Don't buy extended warranties</span><br /><br />The way I figure it, if your product ain't good enough to last longer than the<br />original warranty, I don't want it anyway.<br /><br />This applies to major appliances, cameras, cars, computers, etc.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">2. When you are running a PC program that crashes, and the window<br />comes up and asks if you want to 'Send a report to Microsoft', the<br />correct answer is always </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">'NO'.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">3. When your computer tells you there is an update to a program<br />and you need </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">to install the update, if everything is running fine,<br />and there are no problems </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">or issues at all, the correct answer<br />is "No, do not update"</span>.<br /><br />The only exception to this rule might be anti-virus software...but I have<br />strong opinions on this as well.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">4. When you are flying, ALWAYS plan on getting to the security<br />line at least </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">two hours before your flight.</span><br /><br />You're either going to hang around at home waiting and wasting time, or you will be<br />at the airport being bored...but personally, I would rather waste my time at the<br />airport having the security line finished. You might as well be at the gate waiting<br />instead of at home.<br /><br />(Besides, at the airport, you can people-watch, which is always great entertainment).<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">5. For that matter, when flying, if at all possible, NEVER check a bag.<br /><br /></span>No matter where I go, or for how long, I can always get by with just one carry-on.<br />The hassle of having to wash more clothes while traveling, or having to buy stuff<br />that you have forgotten to pack is well worth the peace of mind you feel while flying,<br />knowing that when you arrive, you can just grab your bag and walk off the plane, and<br />be done with it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">6. When you buy <span style="font-style: italic;">anything</span>, and they want you to register the<br />product, or send </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">in the registration card, or register on-line...<br />ALWAYS decline.</span><br /><br />The only thing you are doing is putting yourself on <span style="font-style: italic;">another </span>mailing list.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">7. When driving to an un-familiar destination, always memorize<br />the last off-ramp</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> BEFORE the one you want, or the last street<br />BEFORE the one you are to make your </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">turn on. </span><br /><br />Even if using GPS, this can be quite handy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">8. When you are just about to make an expensive, big-ticket purchase,</span><br />hold off and wait one more day before buying it.<br /><br />9. Finally, if you are looking for ways to save big money on the latest gadgets,<br />then you should check out <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" href="http://joe-capuano.blogspot.com/2010/02/fair-is-fair.html" target="_display">this</a> post of mine!<br /><br />How did you ever survive without me?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Peace be with you.</span>Joe Caphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16809044606514490636noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303387679097070903.post-80362442608438558452010-10-15T22:11:00.001-05:002010-10-15T22:14:51.836-05:00More Music...She's MineWhile Ray and I were roomies in Orange County in the mid-1980's,<br />a female friend of someone we knew was visiting from England.<br />We convinced her to lend her vocal to this song.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Visiting Briton Sue: </span>The female vocals.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Me:</span> The male vocals, piano, bass, acoustic guitar, and drums.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ray:</span> Electric guitar</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Another friend John</span> does the flugel solo...a very nice small type</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">of bugle.</span><br /><br />The tape got chewed up at the very end of the song, so what was<br />supposed to be a nice slow fade-out turned into a choppy mess that<br />just cuts out all of a sudden.
